says Barry. “I also submit images to national and international salons. This year, I submitted four to the London Salon international print exhibition, which accepts around 200 prints from all over the world and goes on tour in the UK. When I heard that two of my prints had been accepted into this prestigious exhibition, I was very pleased.”

Barry Thompson LRPS and committee member of Derby City Photographic Club has had two images accepted by the London Salon of Photography 2014 annual exhibition. “Belonging to Derby City PC, we are encouraged to participate in the monthly competitions and over the years I have been moderately successful,”

Chapel CCget challenged Back in September Chapel Camera Club enjoyed the Buxton Photo Challenge, one of several events to celebrate the Club’s 30th anniversary. The idea behind the Challenge was to shoot six set themes in the order presented and on an empty memory card. Only one image per theme could be downloaded for judging later. The themes were: lines, 30, the natural world, movement, multicoloured and the end. The event, organised by Chapel members Karl Wood, Keith Gordon and Malcolm Blackburn, has resulted in a display, which is at the Buxton Museum and Art Gallery until 22 November alongside the Club’s 30th Anniversary Exhibition.
